I normally 100% most games, unless it involves a laborious time sink that Im just not interested in doing. If there's some type of reward for 100%, then Ill definately be hell bent on doing that.

I just hope it isnt something as ridiculous as race 8 against the Human Torch for the black suit in Ultimate Spiderman. Knowing that such a cool reward is there, but having such a beast of a task to complete in order to get it gets the rage meter filling much faster than it would if nothing hinged on completing it.

I think the Achievements being created kinda cheapened the 100% completion task. Where developers in previous games would throw you a bone, now all they have to do pretty much is toss you a trophy or some gamerscore and they call it a day.

I dont even understand the point of Gamerscore/Trophies. Especially in games where you get achievements simply for playing the game. Oh, you completed level 1. Wow. We're so impressed by that we're going to add to your gamerscore.

I remember way back when people were thinking that Gamerscore was going to be able to be used as currency to get some stuff from XBOX Live. Then it went to just straight up money being needed to buy "Microsoft points".

I find most achievements completely pointless. All the time when I play online people are freaking out that I have over 70k gamerscore. Usually its the "Wow, you have NO life" kind of crap based off of some kind of imagined inadequacy because theirs doesnt measure up.

Ive had my XBOX since a few months after it launched, and Ive just played a TON of titles. Very few have I gotten the 1000/1000 on, so basicly just the simple act of playing some of these games Ive rented and was able to finish in 4-6 hours, over the span of about six years has just piled up the points.

Achievements should be scrapped and devs should bring back the rewards and unlocks for putting the extra time into their game.

The photographing emblems costumes you need to make sure youre offline. Disconnect your console from the internet connection, and set your internal clock to any date past 8/27/2012.

This will make theSpider Emblems available to photograph in Manhattan. Threads are in the forum for the videos showing locations of each of these emblems for you to find.

Anyway...

So Im at 98% right now. Gotta find a couple photos, an audio evidence, and 2-3 magazines and Ill be at 100%, and at roughly the 30 hour mark. Im 28.5 hours in right now, Ive got a couple of missions to search through.

Also, when you start a new game, you get a fairly unsettling warning that doing this will "ERASE" your progress, which is compounded by having to play about three missions before you can get back to your apartment.

I can confirm that all your unlocks (suits, comics, concept art) carry over into the new game. Your character progress resets to level 1.

The ASM Black Variant (referred to simply as "New Black Suit") in the game is actually pretty sweet looking. I like it far better than the SM 3 costume.

I would get straight to it but the thought of having to go back through and take 2/3 of the pictures of enemies is too much for me right now. Plus there's one really annoying magazine I can't find in St Gabriel's Bank.

I totally didn't even think of looking in the ceiling, you just saved me a few run throughs.

Although it seems like even if I do everything I possibly can I won't be able to get 100%.

I never even knew about taking pictures of enemies until after I beat the game, and apparently at that point I had already killed all the seekers. One of the last things I need is a picture of a seeker so... I might have quite a problem.

Replay Oscorp Secret Lab #2.

Down in the bottom area of the lab is a broken Seeker. Its hard to miss because its sparking everywhere. Snap a photo of that, and youre good to go.

hey stinger its been on december 21 for about a week or 2....still no emblems

Are you going to the locations provided in the videos? You also need to make sure that youre completely disconnected from the internet at all times while playing, as connecting will automaticly reset your clock to present time.

yes did....the first suit I got was big time....then I tried the 1 by the gas station in the alley..wasn't there, then I got scarlet spider 2012....still haven't found any........even found the beenox building....nuthin

Not sure what to tell you, other than it sounds like a malfunction with your console's internal clock. All of the emblems are on the disc, they are simply set to release on a specific date. I would go back in, reset the internal clock to a different date. Dont do december. Just set your clock to 8/27/2012 (this is Spider-Man's birthday so you will also unlock the birthday hat), and then go look for the emblems again.

It sounds like the game is fine. It has to be an issue with your clock settings, or youre getting confused on where to look for the emblem transitioning from the video to your game.

Same here. Twice already I've replayed levels only to miss a single item! -.- Now I have to go back and find it.

There were times I passed right by the item I was looking for SO many times it was ridiculous. I mean, right there and I didnt see it.

The only one I had a real problem with was the one that was in one of the areas that had subway cars, and the magazine actually had a couple of crates sitting on top of it and you could only just see the corner sticking out from under it.

The ceiling of the bank after the roof is broken open was another one that I just didnt ever think to check, and there it was.
